No, you do not need an EIN for a Schedule C. A Schedule C is for a self-employed individual which means they can use their SSN.
You can report your income on the Schedule C with or without a 1099 as a self-employed individual should keep track of their expenses and income. They will also be responsible for paying Self-Employment (Social Security and Medicare) taxes when they file their return.
